Supporting for "Bivalve Resilience to Ocean Acidification: Active H+ Efflux as a Mechanism for Shell Growth Maintenance"

Summary:

This dataset encompasses a comprehensive collection of responses from the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum to ocean acidification. Key metrics included in this dataset are oxygen consumption rate, Ammonia-N excretion rate, intracellular pH, H⁺ flux, expression and activity of acid-base regulatory genes, and individual growth measurements.

 The data was systematically compiled from both field mesocosm and laboratory experiments aimed at elucidating the physiological responses and underlying mechanisms by which bivalves adapt to the stressors associated with ocean acidification.

 Data generation occurred primarily between 2020 and 2023. This dataset serves as a valuable resource for enhancing our mechanistic understanding of the responses and adaptive potential of marine bivalves in the context of escalating ocean acidification.
